norwichkev Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Does anyone else think its a little strange why we haven't officially named one rider yet? we sit alongside Kent (and they haven't built their track yet) so obviously they are going to be a bit behind the others. But not one has been listed on the bspa website or announced on the official website. I know I have mentioned this before, but it is puzzling? This is not a dig at the promotion as we all know what they achieved last year, which was excellent, so I would have thought we would have been a little quicker off the mark? Good point, I suspect that it will be down to juggling around points now that JJ has gone to get the best balance from the riders available - would make sense in my view to get the complete 1-7 nailed down and released en masse as suggested by PhilK on Fb, looks like an excellent decision by Promotion not to have rushed an early declaration and then had to do an about turn. Don't think there is any immediate deadline before riders have to be sanctioned by BSPA. I would suspect that the riders definitely confirmed are already signed up.

The Baron of Merstone and the Beast of Saffron Walden talking about street cred is a bit like Les Dawson talking about piano playing. I daresay you reprobates (including Phil K and BP) will see me next season, but not if I see you first. I am not certain why but I am looking forward to my trips to East Anglia and the 'World's biggest retirement home' in 2013 already . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMungo Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Liam Rumsey signs leaving just 1 to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Liam Rumsey signs leaving just 1 to go 8.55 left, who's your money on? Irving, Steve Worrall, James Brundle, or even Ben Morley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 My money was on Robert Branford but after reading Mildys website both Robert and Irving are out of the picture. I think Ben Morley would fit in well at Mildenhall but I think he will be already within the Kent setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_mft Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Anyone have an idea what Chris Schramms last cl/nl average was.He would fit otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinder Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 It looks like he had a CL average in 2004 of 9.78 and a PL average last season of 4.9. People have mentioned on here that there is a 0.6 conversion rate if he doesn't have a PL team place which would make his NL average 8.17. It has also been said that it is whichever average was the highest, so I'm guessing it would be 9.78. I'm not sure the rules are that clear, but if he could ride for Mildenhall, I'm sure he would do a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the rules, they sometimes seem to be a moving feast ( not sure if a 2004 would still have any effect? ), after watching Roynon last year Schramm would be a good call for both parties.

Super Blue Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Schramm would be an excellent signing... If he can actually stay on his bike he would ! At Foxhall he was always good for a fall or three . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I havent seen him ride for a while, he always looked very good at NL level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Just read the press release: 'Another rider we looked at has now been offered a big sponsorship to stay where he raced last year and yet another we had talks with after he missed virtually the whole of last season, again seems set to stay put.' Looking at the big hitters who are yet to resign I can only see Charles Wright unless they mean one of the Rye lads at Kent. As to the rider who missed most of the year, Ben Taylor? I can't remember why he left. Is Tim Webster worth a shout? Edited January 4, 2013 by Islander15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember why he left. Is Tim Webster worth a shout? I thought Ben Taylor missed all of last year? Riders who have stayed where they were could be a rider who has already been announced? Maybe they were after Ben Reade again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders who have stayed where they were could be a rider who has already been announced? Maybe they were after Ben Reade again? Yes you're probably right about the latter. Having said it, I'm not sure if Taylor actually rode but I'm pretty sure he was in an early declaration. Edit: Found it, April 4th he left and it was given as 'financial reasons' Edited January 4, 2013 by Islander15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
